faraday-proxy Does Not Fail Gracefully if Unconfigured

[kb1lqc]

Summary

After installing faraday-proxy you must configure the proxy.ini file with a faraday-proxy --init-config and then run faraday-proxy --callsign xxx --nodeid x --port xxx. If one just installs faraday and then attempts to run faraday-proxy there is an hard failure and the program quits. This should nicely tell the user what is wrong and how to fix it.
